This was extremely fun and twisty, and I did not guess the ending because everyone was so sneaky!  I thought the characterization of the neighborhood dynamics was really believable. Ms. Lapena does these domestic issues so well, and I'm really excited to read more of her books. Also, moral is never trust a partner lol

This book was such a good read. The suspense kept me on edge that at certain points, it was hard to put down. I absolutely loved this book.
